well thats exactly it coasty,you dont know if you dont ask. maybe even going there in person to the council chambers would get things happening quicker,but i will still write the letter. apparently it is pretty overgrown and a bit stuffed from the 4 wheel drives but with some hard work and the right connections i dont see any reason why it could not be restored to its former glory and raced on.

[COASTY]

I hope it goes well. It was a pretty cool track. Lots of people raced there as a kid. I wished I could of raced there more.

thanks coasty, fingers crossed it goes well. so if there is anyone out there that would like to help rebuild(permission permitting of course)the more people that want to help,would have a good effect on council i would say.

Hickeys Lane how it was





Hickeys Lane how it is now




I heard a rumour that Penrith BMX Club were given the opportunity to go back to Hickeys, but they turned it down and went to St Marys

it astounds me phil that this track has been let go to such a state
would you have any pics of the track in its entirity how it used to look and would you be willing to help if i can get the ball rolling on this as i would love to see this track raced on again

Can I suggest you get a signed petition from as many riders / members / locals etc as posible. This will help support your cause when you speak to council.
Councils won't realise its just a bloody good idea.

Good luck with it

hey burgo, i have already got two bike shops on board and will be approaching pretty much the biggest earthworks company in sydney(J.K. WILLIAMS)and see if they might like to throw in a bobcat and driver and maybe even an excavator as well. i have the name and number of the guy thats in charge of parks for penrith and am currently putting together a proposal for the P.C.C at the moment and will be petitioning every rider i can for it as well as trying to maybe get a few forums behind it as well and also remind penrith council of the historic value of the track itself.
i will be offering a decent proposal for businesses for throwing the hat in the ring and as i said i gave two bike shops a quick rundown today and both put their hands up.

[Burgo]

Awesome, sounds like its been on ya mind for a while. I'd be more than happy to put my name on a petition. Im sure I only ever raced there once & it was in the rain, had a blast all the same.
Lets hope its a goer.
